The Revenant is the vengeful soul of whom was murdered, now drifting between life and death, he never finds peace. He moves across the battlefield with uncanny swiftness forcing individuals to obey his will, those who resist, are slain.

There is only one problem, I don't have the means to formulate a picture for this unit. If one of you are interested... Maybe this character could receive such a boon.

I would like to hear your thoughts on this. Do let me know, that way I may improve this idea so that it may be balanced for the game.

Wrong section

My apologies, it will not happen again.

For an image...

Google D&D Revenant!

It cannot get much more descriptive than those images.

Let me know what you think.

We could just make revenants smarter forms of average zombies. You know, they are smart enough to use weapons and armour?

Much more formidable than their less equipped counterparts, the revenants show much more resilience than zombies, and posses more cunning.

Yes, that would be awesome to see.

Maybe even implement more zombies techs too?

Zombies will get rebalancing i hope.

I hope so, for the better at least.

Zombies are too weak for their value.

As it turns out, the zombies have their own revision. So maybe another idea for this?





So it could be possible to make the revenant like unto an undead versitile unit...

Look to the 1st post for more info...

This may aid with main undead weakness.

Change it to be trained at Dark citadel, and barrow.
Take away convert and just give it zombie reanimation
Otherwise like.

Zombies have 2 re-animators already,

When looking at the Revenant, Think Shadow of Mordor/ Shadow of War

He's a wraith, not a revenant.

All a revenant is, is a zombie or ghost, the word just means "coming back from the dead."
Just make it a stronger zombie that can do more things due to it being "Conscious."

It would have better ability's then a zombie.

Fine. Edited

Images look nice. Like that command aura, makes it feel more like a dark citadel unit now.

Alright we have image, training Areas, stats, abilities, I say it's ready.

Go ahead and add it

.

We could try different spells if you want.

Updated.

Is that some kind of specter?

Yes, you remember how you wanted a ghost unit that has full movement on water?

Aside from that the names I found didn't seem all the best or were already being used like wraith for example.

I think in general all specters might have just waterwalking (all water types).

Also I think there is no need to add lifelink to it (for undeads I want to keep these effects for vampires and other themed units, and also we should make more unique spells).

Those spells were just place holders, I plan to figure out some new spells later. Might replace magic missile with scream.

I was thinking that scream might add as a AoE effect around the unit, but that is mostly banshee stuff.
